Suzuki DF 140's

I used to know some locals @ big pine who would take out old car hoods and put them on the flats. damn near impossible to spot and no profile on a sounder. flip that over & it looks like roaches in a pantry.

thanks anyway

The 'canes took the car hoods away. Now the Game boys are looking from the air. They spend more of our taxes than they are worth. The only time they catch anyone is when someone squeels or gets pictures to show them. Shoot me a reminder email when you get down here, we can get a beer.

OK Two new coats of bottom paint, new plugs and fresh oil.
6200 rpm wot, 31.5 Kts. With the wind, one foot chop. Full tank, two aboard.
Against the wind, 6100+/- wot, 30.9 Kts. 18/14 wheel.

So your saying that you cruise at WOT? Thats weird.



Seriously Snoozer, when you bust that prop on a trap going that fast, you should try a 19 or 20 pitch, I think you will like the rpm reduction.

Well Randle, I have no intention of going that fast. But it was a test to see if the motor would go a taller wheel. It looks like it will. The next up stainless is a 20 I think. I'll order one tomorrow.

I want to run this motor in the low fours, so that should give me a little more SPEED. I want to keep up with the jones-es.

I had trouble finding a 20 pitch in the same diameter, they were all a quarter inch smaller around, so I got the 21p......it is probably slightly too much, but I never run WOT anyways.

New 14 X 20 wheel. 4200 rpm - 24.9 kts.
Old 14 X 18 wheel, 4200 rpm - 20.4 kts
I like it.
